Better question. How did her get his insurance rep on the phone at 2AM?

[Porthos]

Coneheads version of those ads are better, anyway.

Perfection takes time! The entire world should be happy to see two Jim films within the next 5 years.

[Bonenash]

hey guys

 

I would like to speak about the probable composer for Avatar sequels since James horner is dead ://

 

 

Imo it could be James newton howard his works sound a lot like horner.

 

Or Alan silvestri cause i know cameron likes to work with same people. He did The abyss and a very good work too so i think it's possible.

 

Your though?

I'm not sure myself I don't follow musicians, all I know is that Horners shoes are going to be hard to fill.

John Williams is always a good choice for a memorable soundtrack. His style lends itself well to dramatic, mysterious environments like Pandora.

No John Williams, please.

 

He's not gonna do it, anyway.

[IronJimbo]

 

The more I listen to Horners original soundtracks the more I find a replacement impossible. Maybe it's best if Jim just remixs Horners soundtracks into new ones.

[IronJimbo]

Would you ever direct a Star Wars or Marvel superhero film? I feel your fans would salivate over that possibility. I’m not the slightest bit interested in laboring in someone else’s house.

A lot of sweet info in this one.

 

[Laughs] I like that. So how is Avatar 2 coming along? Obviously the first one is the all-time box office champ, so the bar is set pretty high here.

The thing is, my focus isn’t on Avatar 2. My focus is on Avatar 2, 3, 4, and 5 equally. That’s exactly how I’m approaching it. They’ve all been developed equally. I’ve just finished the script to Avatar 5. I’m now starting the process of active prep. I’ll be working with the actors in the capture volume in August, so I’m booked in production every day between now and then. Our volume is up and running, and everything is designed, and so we’re going full-guns right now. I feel like I’ve been let out of jail, because I’ve been in the writing cave for the last two years. I’m actually enjoying life. I don’t enjoy writing. I wouldn’t wish writing on a dog.

 

LET OUT OF JAIL., FULL-GUNS.

You mentioned Titanic, so I’ve got to ask: the age-old question is whether or not there was plenty of room on that plank-raft for Leo. I say yes, there was.

[Laughs] We’re gonna go there? Look, it’s very, very simple: you read page 147 of the script and it says, “Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive.” It’s that simple. You can do all the post-analysis you want. So you’re talking about the Mythbusters episode, right? Where they sort of pop the myth? OK, so let’s really play that out: you’re Jack, you’re in water that’s 28 degrees, your brain is starting to get hypothermia. Mythbusters asks you to now go take off your life vest, take hers off, swim underneath this thing, attach it in some way that it won’t just wash out two minutes later—which means you’re underwater tying this thing on in 28-degree water, and that’s going to take you five to ten minutes, so by the time you come back up you’re already dead. So that wouldn’t work. His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a boat or something before he died. They’re full of shit.

 

JAMES 'IRON JIM' CAMERON DESTROYS MYTHBUSTERS

[IronJimbo]

The Oscars has had a hard time ratings-wise since your Titanic year, which set ratings records. Why do you think the telecast has been in a ratings slump since?

There have been a few times throughout the history of the Oscars where a wildly popular film was well-received, but your typical year the Academy takes the position of: “It is our patrician duty to tell the great unwashed what they should be watching,” and they don’t reward the films that people really want to see—that they’re paying money to go see—and they’re telling them, “Yeah, you think you like that, but what you should be liking is this.” And as long as the Academy sees that as their duty, don’t expect high ratings. Expect a good show, and do that duty, but don’t whine about your ratings. Titanic was a very unusual case. I’m not saying it’s a better film than films before or after, or it was necessarily a better year in general, but it was a film that made a boatload of money and got a lot of nominations. The next time we see that, we’ll see ratings go up. It’s that simple.

 

JAMES 'IRON JIM' CAMERON KILLS THE OSCARS

 

There does seem to be an Academy bias against big movies like that. When you had Dark Knight and Wall-E both get snubbed for Best Picture, many people cried foul, and the Academy expanded Best Picture to between 8-10 nominees. But it hasn’t made a difference.

There’s definitely a bias. The Academy still has a majority of its members that are actors. Look, I love actors, but that’s how they think—they’re generally skeptical of technology. So when they see a film that’s too dependent on visual effects, they say, oh, that’s not an acting movie. Well Titanic was a visual effects movie in sheep’s clothing, you know? Yes, it had visual effects, but it was about the people and about the story. The visual effects were eclipsed by that. But if you do a movie like Avatar, the effects are right out front, and even though I felt the acting was just as good, and the story we were telling was just as good, they’re not going to reward it the same way. That’s just a fact of life. I had made a decision way before Titanic that I wasn’t going to serve two masters: I was going to put my visual cinema first. Even though I’ve spent an awful lot of time on scripts and on performance, I still love doing big, visual cinema. I doubt I’ll even get nominated again, but if I did, I’m probably going to lose to a Woody Allen movie. That’s the nature of it. So you don’t try to serve two masters.

Can't wait to see what Cameron has in store for Pandora's oceans. I wonder when we'll get to see the first official image from Avatar 2.
